My life is a lie, and so is yours.

The idea that connects God to determinism is the idea that God is all knowing in addition to being all powerful. (Of course omnipotence is logically impossible, and even if it were possible, is mutually exclusive to omniscience)

Thus, since God ostensibly knows exactly what you are going to do at every instant, and why, and cannot ever be wrong, you can argue that you do not possess free will, since from God's perspective at least, every possible choice has already been made and is set in stone, and nothing you could do could allow you to deviate from that path.
